Light-filled preservation

10/11/2024 | OKALUX | Reference

An archive doesn't have to be a dark, dusty place: at the Archivo Histórico Provincial de Guadalajara in Spain, a light-filled entrance makes clear that this isn't just a place to preserve important documents, but also a place to enjoy.

Central to this achievement is OKAWOOD, a high-performance insulating glass that filters and diffuses sunlight through an integrated wooden grid. This solution offers optimal daylighting while providing essential protection against glare and overheating, crucial in the hot and dry climate of central Spain. Additionally, OKAWOOD enhances the aesthetic appeal of the building, casting beautiful light patterns throughout the interior, creating a dynamic visual experience that evolves with the movement of the sun.
